S2 E9Narrow Escapes

You got the wrong fox, it was supposed to be Scarface!

Well why didn't Fox tell me so himself instead of sending those stupid weasels as his messengers?!?

Yes, but the point is, what do we do now?

I sssuppose you want me to bring the blue fox back to life? (sniggers)

It would be better for you if you could.

Explain!

Scarface knows an adder's bite. You killed his son. If I were you I'd stay low for a while.

How low can you get? I couldn't get much lower unless I tunnelled underground! Ssstupid bird! As for those ssstupid weasels...

Something will have to be done about them.

(About Bounder's death) It was something to do with that Farthing Wood lot. I feared it in my bones!

So, those common red foxes haven't the gall to fight us face to face! They're hoping to exterminate us one by one.

You don't know that Mum!

I most certainly do.

How?

Because we would like to exterminate them.

This is crazy! I thought we were looking for a snake. Wouldn't it be easier if we just made peace with the Farthing foxes? You know, live together in harmony?

Wimp! All this peace talk makes you sick! The boy's yellow, that's his trouble.

I see you!

(stammering) Oh, I hear you as well! And ssso will everyone elssse!

Just because you're afraid, there's no need to be rude.

I am not af-f-fraid, I'm f-f-freezing cold!

Cold? Well then you must be hungry!

F-f-fasting's good for me! Saves venom, which I'm g-g-going to need!

Ah, so we're after Scarface now are we?

Why don't you just hoot from the treetops and be done with it!

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit! And to think I was going to feed you. Huh!

(after trapping Adder) You miserable creeping worm! Did you think you would kill me like you killed my son?

How do you know I killed him? I'm not the only Adder in White Deer Park.

You're the one on Farthing Land.

But your son didn't die on Farthing Land, ssseee? Doesn't mean a thing. And you'll have a long wait if you're waiting for me.

I'm in no hurry...

...Neither am I. I can go for days without food. Can you?

I'm thinking I should fend for myself.

Fend for yourself? You wouldn't last a day!

But I didn't leave home to depend on others!

Oh, you're lucky to be still alive! Isn't it enough?

I will be free, even if I die in the attempt.

That was a narrow escape! Thank your lucky stars!

(woefully) Looks like I've caught my last chicken.

What next? Next?

You tell me!

Still want to live off humans?

What else can I do? I couldn't catch a mouse in a trap!

Suppose you could try the town...

Town? What's a town?

All houses! No fields. Humans everywhere! But a lot of cover. A lot to scavenge. Humans are very wasteful!

Will you show me where it is?

Oh, would you share your spoils?

It's a deal.

Go while it's dark. I'll tell Shadow you've gone, and catch you up later.

But how will I know the way?

Follow the noise! Like a loud buzzing the nearer you get.

Tell Shadow... I'll miss her!

S2 E10Shadows

(After Crow gives Bold his share of food) Mmm... things are looking up!

Ssstill there, Scarface?

Still here, Adder.

You're wasting your time. Sssoon you'll be wasting away! (sniggers)

Laughing? When I've just bitten your tail off?

Only a Farthing adder would do that. Come on. Admit it. You're the famous Farthing adder. You're the brave snake who killed Scarface's son... ADMIT IT! I'll get you. See if I don't!

Not if I get you firssst!

Friendly! You should be on watch! Charmer will be waiting for you.

Charmer? Oh yes, she was waiting for someone alright, but it wasn't me!

What do you mean?

I caught her with Ranger, Scarface's son. They were acting very friendly!

What?!

Disgraceful!

(sighs) I had a feeling this might happen.

Traiterous cub... what has she told you?

Nothing, and she's no traitor. Or at least she doesn't mean to be.

What does it matter what she means to be? A traitor is a traitor!

She's in love! Don't you remember how it was Fox?

Well... it was different with us. We're both red foxes. This...

Ranger.

...Ranger... is blue!

You promised you wouldn't tell him!

No I didn't!

Yes you did!

SHUT UP! So... we were not to know about this Ranger of yours, hmm?

I would have told you myself when the time was right!

The time could never be right! You and he could never make a match!

How can you say that, you haven't even met him!

I don't need to. You're red, he's blue. What more do you want?

We're young. What difference does our colour make?

If I may intercede Fox, love as we all know is reputed to be blind.

Never mind all that claptrap! His father and I are at war!

(To Charmer) Perhaps your children will bring peace to the two tribes. Please don't drive another of my cubs away Fox.

Oh, so now we're back to Bold are we?

I'm sorry. I only meant don't be too hard on Charmer. You could at least meet her young admirer.

You're all against me!

I wish Badger was here. The young just don't seem to value the oath as we did!

Badger... Badger... are you alright? Badger!

Er... Moley! Old friend...

I'm not Moley, I'm...

Time to get up is it? Time to go out in the moonlight to hunt in Farthing Wood.

Farthing Wood? Badger, you're dreaming! We're in White Deer Park!

The moonlight, playing through the leaves of the trees. Light and shade, so you hardly see the black and white coats of my ancestors...

Badger? Badger! Badger... it's... it's your old friend Mole.

Mole? I don't know any moles. Only badgers. My brothers... and sisters. Tired after a night's playing, settling down to sleep.

(wailing) No, don't go to sleep Badger! Not yet... not yet! (runs off)
